Is the $400 Steam Deck worth it?
TLDR: For someone wanting a cheap, reliable way to play most PC games, a $400 Steam Deck is the way to go. For a PC gaming hobbyist with cash to spare on upgrades, there is now enough variety in the market to consider the balance of performance and price you want in your gear. As it should be. While many games run great on Deck out of the box, this shift means there are some games that, while they may be great on a desktop PC, aren’t a great experience on Steam Deck. We want it to be easy for you to find great gaming experiences on Steam Deck, so we’ve designed a system to do just that.
